Great Ocean Road Tandem Skydive – Up To 15,000ft

There is a second 'Reserve Chute', which is used in the unlikely event of the main chute not operating properly. The 'Reserve Chute' is checked and repacked every six months by a specially certified Packer. There is also an 'automatic computer activation device' which will open the parachute if, for some reason, the instructor does not. But, again, it's a very unlikely situation.

Amazing! Surprisingly, you don’t actually feel like your falling, so you won’t ‘lose your stomach’. It is more like floating on a jet of air. It is the closest thing to flying like a bird that is possible for humans.

From take-off to landing takes about 30 minutes. However, please allow 2-3 hours from arrival to complete your jump. The Operator often experiences weather delays, and you may have to reschedule your jump for another day. They will only jump if conditions are favourable for skydiving.

Unfortunately, no refund can be given, as all the costs involved are in getting you up there. It doesn’t cost anything to come down. But, the experienced instructors are very proficient in coaching people through their nervousness. You’ll be amazed how easy it is when you have someone experienced with you.

The minimum age is 16 years, and there is no maximum age. People over the age of 90 have been Tandem Skydiving! Anyone under 18 years old must have their legal guardian sign the indemnity form before jumping.

Comfortable clothing and runners, no big boots or high heels! The Operator will supply some jump pants to wear. If it’s cool, wear a jumper.

Yes, just eat what you would usually eat.

No, for safety reasons, you cannot take your own camera. Solo jumpers need a minimum of a C license in skydiving to carry a camera.

Most people find that their sinuses are blocked after the freefall. It is simple to equalise them by chewing, yawning or swallowing. Jumping with a cold or blocked sinus is not recommended.

This is a weather-oriented sport, and the Operator will only jump when it is safe to do so. They are regularly delayed by inclement weather, such as strong winds or clouds. As such, they ask you to give them a call only on the day of your jump to confirm if your skydive will be going ahead.

Yes! The Operator has excellent facilities (including wheelchair access) for friends and family to watch your special event! Enjoy snacks and drinks while you are watching!

No, for safety reasons, only people skydiving can go in the plane.

Alcohol and drugs are not to be consumed in skydiving operational areas. Eight hours must pass between your last drink and your first jump of the day. Smoking is strictly prohibited within 15m of aircraft, fuel, parachute equipment and in all buildings. The Operator reserves the right to refuse a person’s jump if they are suspected to be under the influence of any substance.
